About HowStuffWorks

HowStuffWorks got its start in 1998 at a college professor's kitchen table. From there, we quickly grew into an award-winning source of unbiased, easy-to-understand answers and explanations of how the world actually works. Today, our writers, editors, podcasters and video hosts share all the things we're most excited to learn about with nearly 40 million visitors to the site each month. Learn more about our authors, and maybe even become one yourself.

HowStuffWorks creates great content that can live on just about any platform! Check us out in these cool new locations.

Audio podcasts on iTunes total nearly 10 million downloads a month, including some of the most popular titles, such as Stuff You Should Know and Stuff You Missed in History Class. You can also find our shows on iHeartRadio and through the iHeartRadio apps.
